The killing took place in Kandhkot, drawing fresh attention to the ongoing issue of gender-based and honour-related violence in the region.
As per media reports on Sunday, unidentified armed assailants opened fire on the victim, resulting in his immediate death.
Police sources confirmed that the deadly attack occurred in Madrassah Mohallah, which falls under the jurisdiction of Kandhkot Police Station.
Witnesses reported that after firing multiple shots, the attackers managed to escape the scene while engaging in aerial firing to deter any pursuit.
